Miles of walking in wild places connect me to nature. I paint people and animals in wild places. I use abstract elements in my work yet I keep the natural world at the forefront.
I paint in watercolor and acrylic on paper and wood panels. Watercolor combines luminosity with soft edges and unpredictable results. I use many layers, textural effects and collage elements with acrylic paints. The space between representational and abstract images is most compelling to me. My subject matter varies based on what I find intriguing and challenging.
I finally dove into painting after dancing around the edges of creating art. I loved art classes in school and learned the principles of art while studying landscape architecture. Having the space and time to create art now is a joy that makes it worth the focus and persistent effort it requires.
